Question 1

In a technology recovery scenario, what is the function of a 'runbook'?

Accepted Answer

A documented set of step-by-step procedures for operating and recovering IT systems

Answer

A runbook provides detailed, sequential technical procedures that staff follow to recover specific systems during an incident.

Question 2

Which cloud deployment model provides the greatest flexibility for technology recovery by allowing workloads to shift between private and public environments?

Accepted Answer

Hybrid cloud

Answer

Hybrid cloud environments allow organizations to burst workloads to public cloud during a disaster while maintaining private cloud operations normally.

Question 3

During a tabletop exercise for technology recovery, what is the PRIMARY goal?

Accepted Answer

To identify gaps in recovery plans through discussion-based scenario walkthrough

Answer

Tabletop exercises use discussion-based scenarios to identify plan gaps and decision-making issues without disrupting production systems.

Question 4

An organization stores encryption keys for backup data in the same location as the backup media. What critical risk does this create?

Accepted Answer

Inability to decrypt backups if the disaster destroys both the media and the keys

Answer

Storing encryption keys co-located with backup media means a single disaster can destroy both, rendering backups permanently inaccessible.

Question 5

Which term describes the point in a technology recovery process where normal IT operations have been fully restored and the disaster recovery phase is officially concluded?

Accepted Answer

Return to normal operations (reconstitution)

Answer

Reconstitution is the phase where the organization transitions from recovery mode back to normal operations at the primary or rebuilt site.
